20 Reasons We All Want to be Jessa

We're all a bunch of Hannah's, Marnie's and there's always the occasional Shosh's. But deep inside all of us, there's a Jessa.

20 Reasons We All Want to be Jessa

Even if you live under a rock (I'm sure those all have wifi now), then you've heard of HBO's GIRLS. For those of you without a wifi connection underneath those little rocks, it's a show about four friends out of college trying to survive the transition into adulthood in New York City. 

It doesn't sound like anything, but it is EVERYTHING. Creator/writer/producer/actress Lena Dunham has given us an unbelievable group of friends to vicariously live our lives through the past four seasons. 

There's Hannah, who is subtly the most vein person on the Earth; there's Marnie, who is a perfectionist struggling to keep it all together; there's little Shoshanna, a doe-eyed confused college grad whose peppiness is enough for a thousand people. Last but definitely not least, there's Jessa. 

Jessa is the whimsical free spirit who does not give the slightest sh*t about anything. She says whatever she wants, does whatever she wants, and has some vague European accent we all wish we had. Not to mention she's a walking Anthropology advertisement. 


1. She does not listen to anyone's rules, so don't even bother with her. 

 


2. She digs deeps and asks the real questions you're afraid to hear.


3. She does things on her own time, all the time. The place doesn't matter. 


4. She knows that every mistake makes for a great tale, so you really can't be ashamed of anything. 


5. She's honest about her feelings on dating...


6. ... And blatantly honest about everything else.


7. She's always there to encourage her friends to calm the hell down about life. Seriously, Hannah, relax.


8. She's way too cool for your stupid social media.


9. You actually do. Not. Mess. With. Jessa. 


10. She understands that jobs are the worst thing to happen to a 20-something.


11. She's independent as hell.


12. Jessa parties pretty frickin' hard. Be thankful we don't go to college with her. 


13. She will be that friend to take your phone and text the guy you're too afraid of. Cause Jessa doesn't give a damn.


14. She's not afraid to be vulnerable sometimes.


15. She's always by her friends' side.


16. She knows that she's doing a favor to any man she gives the priveldge of dating.


17. She'll call you out on your stupid clothing choices. Because she's probably dressed better than you. 


18. She can put on a happy face... but only when she has to. 


19. If you make her angry, she will let you know immediately.


20. She is queen. The most fabulous of them all.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
